Excited there's a new gay/kink bar to visit in the area! My pup and I came here for the karaoke pup play event night (every third Wednesday, 8PM I believe) to check it out. The parking lot does not have many spaces, and we slipped into one that was really overflow for the neighboring gas station/convenience store, as many others had obviously done, LOL. But I noticed there was also plenty of nearby parallel street parking available too. All of the parking is free, hooray! Also nice location away from downtown.
We were each carded on entry and made our way inside. The interior is a bit small and there aren't skads of tables/chairs... with so many folks packed into the place, it was hard to find a place to stand, however it wouldn't totally surprise me if some folks consider that a plus... better to meet someone, right? Not why we were there though, haha. We mingled a bit though.
They had a couple employees staffing the bar who were managing to keep up alright, only a small wait to purchase a beverage. I asked for something sweet and fruity and was given what amounted to two pours of Deep Eddy Ruby Red (an Austin OG), a squeezed lime, a maraschino cherry, and a whole lotta ice. More tart than sweet, my friend, LOL. Gotta be good at making drinks for gay twinks... I want something FABULOUS. Cost $9.75, not great not terrible pricing. The bartender also didn't bother giving my partner the water he requested... so, um, k.
I really appreciated that they had decorated the interior decor for the evening with pup pride flags and banners. It was a nice touch. I was also extremely appreciative of the two All Gender restrooms in the back. Hooray for inclusivity!
There was a long list to wait to do a karaoke song, but my husband quite enjoyed doing his number. I hope they will tweak their sound system in the future though, as the music was a bit quiet and hard to hear the song over the other noise in the small building. The mic was also pretty garbled. But we had fun and will be back again perhaps next month. With some small improvements, I could see myself upping this rating to a 5-star.
